Ter, and previous 10 his death he made a very
singular request; that was, that on the day of
his funeral, and while his remains were being
conveyed to Green Lawn, the hearse should
be stopped at the corner of Broad and High
streets, the original home of the Deshler
family, and now where their bank is, three
minutes. His request was strictly carried out.
An effort is being made, and bill will no
doubt be introduced to increase the pay of
the guards at the Penitentiary from $65 to
S75 month. They say they want this in
crease, or the State to board them. If they
were to take the same grub the prisoners re-
ceiye, boarding them would save large

Your correspondent in conversation with
Democratic members of the Legislature and
leading Dem ocrats from all parts of the
State, he learns that there is general feel
ing of opposition to the next Democratic
State Convention nominating any of Ohio's
Democratic Congressman for the Office of
Governor. They say, for the Democrats
elected to Congress to fill out the term in
that body for which they have been elected;
and that there is plenty of Democratic tim
ber for that Office outside of Congress to
make candidate ont of, like Hon. Thomas
E. Powell, Judge L. NJ. Hunter and others
who are not now, and will not then be hold
ing Office.
Local option, outs ide of incorporated vii
lagos and cities, attracted considerable at
tention during the past week in the Legisla-
ture. After ever days discussion, the bill
for that purpose was postponed to the CON-

Republican legislator is to court the votes

of securing the liquor vote in Hamilton

From the above il can be judged what fund
of energy he brings to his work. His trained
mind is quick to sieze every advantage, and
the result is that the Southern Kansas is more
thoroughly advertised than ever before in its
history. But must stop talking railroads,
or will have no room for anything else.
1t will be remembered that reference was
made to the stone quarries here in my last
letter. recent discovery has given them
additional interest. 1t has been found that
they contain very fine quality Of marble,
which makes them of far greater value than
was thought possible few weeks ago. 1t
only remains for capital TO be invested to
make them yield rich return. It is prob
able that unless foreign capital is attracted
and takes advantage of the opening, home
company will be formed to operate the
quarries.

NO GALLON AGENCIES. 90
Important Opinion by the Attorney
General. g. o..

COLUMBUS, o., January 31.-Delta,
Fulton county, voted in favor of local
option and the village council passed a
prohibitory ordinance. The saloons
closed, except that one party claimed
to be the agent of the manufacturers,
and sold beer by the gallon. A letter
was addressed to the Attorney General
of the State to get his views respecting
such agencies, and he replied as follows:
ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE, /
F, COLUMBUS, o., January q, 1887. !
DEAR SIR: Your favor of the recent
date received. There has been no case
in the Supreme Court presenting the
question as to the right of an agent to
sell intoxicating liquors. Manufacturers
thereof, who sell in quantities of not
less than one gallon at one time are eX-
| pressly exempted from the operation of
the Dow law as to the payment of the
tax, and in the absense of q decision of
the Supreme Court, | give it as my
opinion that this means sales by manu-
facturers in good faith, in the usual
course of business, and not by q So
called or nominal agency. In other
words, do not believe that an inde-
pendent place of business can be set up
at different places in the State under
assumed agency, without liability for
the special tax, of In defiance of an
ordinance, where one has been adopted
nnder the local option feature. Be-
lieving this to be the intent and mean
ing of the law, give you my judgment
for what it is worth. Yours very truly,

Mexican Pension Decision.

Pension Commissioner Black has
issued circular, announcing that only
soldiers of the Mexican war who served
sixty days therein, and are now sixty
two years of age, can secure pension
unless they can prove disability or de-
pendence. The widow ofsuch q soldier
is also barred from the benefits of the
act unless she has reached sixty-two
years, or is dependent upon others for
her support. The Commissioner also
informs the surviving officers of the
war, that the act places them on the
same footing with the soldiers, and
they only receive pensions upon the
conditions as they. The amount of
pension can in no case be greater than
that of the soldier--that is SO per
month. Id. .agralr

A lady came to the city last week to
sell lot of turkeys, and on arriving at
the market place found that ten or
dozen of them had been smothered to
death. She hauled them home and
dressed them and returned and sold
them to grocery store. The trick was
detected in time to save any one from
eating any of the meat, although three
of them had been sold to customers.
The woman danced to the tune of the
selling price of the turkeys and the
price ofa livery rig for the groceryman
to drive to her house in the country.
More severe punishment would have
been good lesson for her.-Defaace

A Word in Season.

".. .a.' .# H.H.a
Just at the present time the
imp. c,rse Drug and Book Els
tablishment Of J. G. Saur is un-
usually interesting, inasmuch
as the Holiday Stock of Goods
are being arranged, which oc-
cupies the attention of the force
of the establishment day and
night. We believe we are safe
in saying that never before in
the history of this house has
such a display of ornamental
and useful articles been opened
up to the eyes and tastes of our
citizens. The Little Dutch
man" has completely outdone
himself in his efforts to please
the tastes, and at the same time
accommodate the pocket-books,
Of the citizens of Napoleon and
surrounding country.
As the llolidays are near at
hand, and knowing that it is
more blessed to give than re-
ceive, Saur has made it a point
this season to collect a stock Of
articles from which none can
fail of finding something to
please, no difference for whom
intended, let it be "a father,
mother, brother, sister, aunt,
uncle, niece, nephew, cousin,
husband, wife, sweetheart, or
of whatever kin.
1t would be the next thing
to an irnpossibility to enumer-
ate all the articles suitable for
the holidays to. be found at
Saur's, but to give the reader
an idea of the extent and nature
of the stock, we mention the one
item of Gift Books, which com,
prises thousands of volumns:
consisting of all the latest pub
lications at prices never before
heard of in this country. Think
fit, a dollar book for 25 cents,
\ no cheap binding, but good and
substantial cloth binding and
printed on good paper. Here
is an opportunity of securing
an acceptable present for any
body for the small outlay Of
25c. Go and inspect these bar
gains early.
New designs in Albums, some.
thing new, useful and ornamen,
tai. Also, box papers and en-
velopes, cards and fancy sta
tionery in endless variety.
Toilet Articles and Perfume
Cases in new and elegant de-
signs. Gold Pens and Holders,
and a profusion Of articles suit
able for Gifts. In fact Old San.
ia Claus has made Saur's his
Headquarters. .,,.A..2..H "a
In addition to this large dis
play of Holiday Goods, Saur has
in stock all the standard Drugs
and Medicinei Of the day, al
ways fresh and pure. . Trusses,
Brushes of every description,
Paints, Oils and Varnishes, the
best and cheapest in the mar
ket. A complete display Of
Wall and Window Paper. Saur
still holds his title as the Wall
Paper King Of the Northwest,
and which he rightly possesses.
Those on the lookout for
goods in his line, or suitable
presents for the. = Holidays, all Of
are sold at remarkably
rialeow dilow prices, should not miss pay

THE HERALD knows whereof it speaks
in this matter; the facts are as familiar
to US as. if they occurred but last
month. The first news of McKean's
removal came in a telegram to George
e. Whitney, at that time Salt Lake
attorney, signed by Associate Justice
Field. A few minutes later a HERALD
man received a similar dispatch from
Washington, and it was this latter dis
patch which was, ten minutes afterwards
passed around among the lawyers in
Judge McKean's court, and which soon
reached him, a member of the bar
stepping up on the bench, and whisper
ing the thunderbolt into the judicial
ear, and causing the immediate
adjournment of the court. The Asso-
ciated Press announcement of the
glorious news came some hours after
wards.
THE HERALD has been explicit in
this matter, not only to satisfy our
correspondent and others. but to dis
prove the dirty, slanderous, fling of

A FEW DAYS ago Philadelphia striker
was convicted of an assault upon a non
union workman, and last week the
judge pronounced sentence on the fellow
sending him to the Peniten.iary for
eighteen months. In passing sentence
the judge uttered some things which al
workingmen should take home to them
selves. He said: There can be no
more aggravated offense than to beat a
man who is going to his honest toll, and
L propose TO stop it so far as it is in my
power" When other judges become as
wise as Judge Mitchell, the workingman
will be saved much trouble, and escape
lots of suffering.

WHAT DOES II MEAN.

An interesting item of news will be
found in our Washington kilograms
this morning. 1t is interesting to the
Loyal League, and equally so to the
permanent residents of Utah. We re-
ter to the substitution of Hammond, of
Georgia, for &Encker, of Virginia, as
House conferred on the Edmunds-Tucker
bill. How will the Loyal League inter
pref this change2 What will all these
League missionaries returning from
Washington, who know SD much, and
have had so much to say about the
harmony in the committee and the Ger
tainty of the bills. passage, now have to
say? TIE HERALD interprets the change
as veriication of what it has believed
and said all along. namely, that
the quarrel is. between Edmunds
and Tucker; that Notwithstanding
the many assurances that Edmunds
was in perfect harmony. with the bill,
that he approved it before it's presenta-
ton in the House, and that he would
accept it and move its adoption in the
Senate, the old Vermonter does not like
the bill and viii not have it; that there
are provisions in it to which he is hon
estly opposed, and that he does not
propose to let any reconstructed rebel
step in and pluck any of the laurels
which belong to him. The HERALD in
terprets the change in the committee to
mean that Edmunds has said that his
bill or none must become law; that
Tucker will not surrender his pet meas
ure, hence has retired from the commit
tee in order that the others will not be
embarrassed in throwing fuckers bill
overheard. The HERALD's guess may
be wrong, but it will go as a guess until
an explanation shall come along.
